Social Security and Medicare Finances Worsen

[Visinedrops]

I've come to the conclusion, long ago, that whatever our leaders say is going to help everyone, it only benefits those who have everything to gain.

I think it's time for a new way, and I'm willing to put my life on the line for the benefit of the true American way. There's only one problem...those who say they'll take a stand far outnumber those who actually will. People are too afraid of losing what they have right now, and will eventually lose it all anyway because they won't take a stand against it.

Taxing our taxes isn't going to help anything but those who collect the money, it's time to fight, and until people realize this, our way of life will continue to be oppressed.

I was listening to "Rush" this morning (cuz he makes me laugh) and he mentioned that they are going to start taxing our insurance benefits that we get at work. I believe McCain had this idea and the dems completely poopooed it. Now nobama is going to take it up I guess. Not good news. But I can't confirm this so let's just say it's something I heard which is the truth.
